With the main build team off on another job for a few weeks I don’t really want to clog up the blog with lots of identical photos and “No work on site today” updates so I’m going to suspend the automated daily postings from now on.
I’ll do periodic postings when subcontractors are on site and I might resume the daily postings when the main build team returns; we’ll see.

I ordered the bed frame and mattress from different suppliers and the frame arrived on Friday.
The frame is a ‘stretched’ variant of the Braemar in Oak from Riverwood Beds in Glasgow; photo of the assembled frame below. (I really must get around to painting the bedroom wall before the mattress arrives!)

Now I just need the mattress, and some extra-large bedlinen, and some window blinds, and a carpet…
